The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Remoting problem

Asked by ophirg in C# Programming Language

Tags: deserialized, message, calling

Hi all,

I need to crate a two way communication between client and server using Remoting. I have a Dll file in which I keep two interfaces. Let's call them IA and IB. IA is implemented by the server's class A and IB is implemented by the client's class B.
The main goal is to send an object of type IB (an instance of B) that is created on the client, through a method on an object of type IA (an instance of A) theat is created by the server.

Well, the server exposes A using Remoting and the client receives it. The client can call methods and properties on A (easy, because it knows the interface IA) and even can pass the B object throgh a certain method. BUT, whenever I try to call a method on B (using the IB interface) I fail.

What am I doing wrong?

Here are Interfaces.cs, Client.cs, Server.cs and error description:

**********************Interfaces*********************
using System;

namespace Interfaces
{
      public interface IA
      {
            string Name
            {
                  get;
            }
            
            void SetClient(IB b);
            
      }      

      public interface IB
      {
            string Name
            {
                  get;
            }            
      }
}
*****************************************************

************************Server**********************
using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;

using Interfaces;


namespace Server
{
      [Serializable]
      class A: MarshalByRefObject, IA
      {
            [STAThread]
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                  RemotingConfiguration.Configure("RemotingListener.config");
                  Console.ReadLine();
            }            
            
            #region IA Members

            public string Name
            {
                  get { return "Server"; }
            }

            public void SetClient(IB b)
            {
                  Console.WriteLine(b.Name);
            }

            #endregion
      }
      
}
*****************************************************

************************Client**********************

using System.Runtime.Remoting;

using Interfaces;

namespace Client
{
      [Serializable]
      class B: MarshalByRefObject, IB
      {

            static void Main(string[] args)
            {      
                  
                  RemotingConfiguration.Configure("ClientSideRegistrar.config");                  
                  IA a = (IA)Activator.GetObject(typeof(IA), "http://localhost:8989/A.rem");                                                

                  B b = new B();
                  a.SetClient(b);            

                  Console.ReadLine();
            }                        

            #region IB Members

            public string Name
            {
                  get
                  {
                        return "Client";
                  }
            }

            #endregion
      }
}
